Tuesday Check-In

I am feeling stressed. I've got this craft fair this weekend and I am absolutely petrified. I am so afraid that I won't sell a thing, or that I won't have knit enough, or that something went wrong in the registration process and I won't have a spot. I can talk myself through those fears because all of them are manageable, but an entire day in public interacting with people!!! That alone is enough to send me over the edge! My feelings are compounded by how rough things have been going with my husband, who is usually my support person. Things are weird between us right now and I don't want to ask him for help, I don't want to talk to him at all. My 12 year old child is very excited to come with and help me out, so I do have some support <3 and in any case I think it's good for me to do something on my own like this. (but i'm still really scared)

I need to get busy knitting. I've given myself the whole morning to sleep and stress and I'm going to move on and not let myself feel guilty for it. Onward!

Hey, TooMuch, thanks for posting the check-in. I am so sick today, I have a really high fever and a terrible cold, my husband finally helped me get out of bed around 2pm, and made me some food. Took some Tylenol to help the fever but I don't think it's working. I feel like I'm dying ) :
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...

I had a morning student...nice that she is going again on Saturday....so great....then I picked up another student for Thursday or Friday now I am not sure which...when I went to Mom's to take her trash cans back to garage area...also took next door neighbors too at Mom's request because he is not walking so well right now and he did my Moms out to the street yesterday....
going to go to totally different AA meeting tonight to see if I can sell some Mens breakfast tickets....I went to mens meeting last night with some 45-50guys and most of them with money and well to do but nobody bought a ticket....so they will get stuck with no ticket sales at the door if they want to go at last minute....
tonights AA meeting is all men too....so should be fun for me....new men I might even know someone there....
